To 11H whom may (071mm Be it known that it, Joenrtr W Jones, 2t citizen of the United. States, :md'resident of the borough of l t zmi'urtten, in the city and State of New Yoriz he ii'n'ented it new end usetni im n'orement in. being]; Uevieee for the .Fipring-it ltotors t 'Ttztlkirnr-Machines, of which the bellowing is n specification,

My invention includes a spriog motor spring mod 'Wintlingr motor, both located within the toihing machine casing, the Winding motor attachment having a shaft which forms am extension of the spring; motor shaft, which exteitleton Rhett may be driven either automatically from the winding; rootm' Within the easing or mzrnrmihy by a winding monk outside the en ine: e'ttm-beti to the extension. shaft Titty invention more particularly inoh'uleo a prime Winding motor such, or instance,

as on electric motor, having adriving eon-.

nection with a Worm gear loosely mounted on the spring n'io'tor exteneiorzi shaft, said. Worm gear having a one way driving eonneetion with the extension shaft.

The objeet of my inve tion is to provide moons for readily npp lyno; my nutometio Winding attachment to the spring motor Within the casing of :1 talking nmehine of that type in Whieh there is sufficient space between the end of the opring: motor spring shaft and the side ot the cosine; seitt :tpptt cation being; eeeoroptishett Without disturbinn; any of the neon] operotingg' oo-rte of the tofthing nmehine the Winding motor being; secured to the'eesing, its for instance, by means of breoket secured to the spring motor carrying boerti,

proetieet embodiment of my invention is representeti in the eeeomponying drew ings in which,

Figure 1 is e view of the Winding" otteeh IMOHhShOw'VH partly in top plan and partly in eeotion, and

The worm gear has a onewoy driving (OI'JHeCtiUIl with the extension shett. This eonneetion in the present instance, is shown as o eoii eprin ta; eurrouncting the extension shaft and secured at one end to the eolier 11 by the set SCI'GW 152 the other end. of the pring being free. The rotation of the Worm gear (3 by the Winding motor W'iii turn the coil spring; in e (iireeoion to muse it to grip the extension shaft 5, White the rotation of the extension shaft 5 in thesomedirection,

when the worm gear (5 stationery, will open the eoii spring; end release the driving connectionbetween the Worm gear and em tension shaft This will permit the extension Shaft to be rotated by the Winding crank to Wind the spring motor when do sireet.

The driving; connection between the exten sion shaft 5 and the spring motor shaft 3, is shown e eereW-threEnded. connection The tiriving eonneetion between the winding crank and the outer end of the extension shaft is also shown as e screw-threaded oonneotion.

The moons which it employ for securing the Window motor to the inside of the toll 1 111g machine easing may be e bracket 15 ee-= cored to the spring; motor board. of the oesing by sorews 16 and it hes a in 1? which enters a hole in the motor housing for hoht ing the motor ngeinst turning on the entertsion shot-t due to the torque of the spring motor spring" It will be seen from the above description that the Winding device not he very readily applied to tanking machines now in use haw 111g" SlIfifiClGtlij space between the end of the spring motor sprlng ehet'tt and the :nde ot? the casino" eniti nooiieetion being oeeoro {"37 J I vliehed b 1 oneerewine the winrtin erooh:

Where it is not feasible to use the winding motor, as for instance Where power therefor is unavailable, or if for any cause the motor becomes inoperative, the usual winding crank may be attached to the extension shaft and the spring motor Wound manually.

It is evident that various changes may be resorted to in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not Wish to limit myself to the construction herein set forth, but

What I claim is:

1. In a talking machine, a spring motor and itsWinding motor, both located Within the talking machine casing, a spring motor shaft, a removable extension shaft substituted for the usual winding crank, connect; ing the spring motor and the Winding motor, and means for removably securing the Wind- 'ing motor to the casing.

2. In a talking machine, a spring motor and its Winding inotor, both located W thin the talking machine casing, a spring .lnotor w shaft, a removable extension shaft substituted for the usual Winding crank, connecting the spring motor and the Winding motor, and means for reanovably securing the winding motor to the casing, comprising a depending bracket secured to the spring motor hoard of'the casing, said bracket having means engaging the motor housing for holding the motor against turning on the extension shaft due to the torque of th e spring motor spring. I

3. In a talking machine, a spring motor and its Winding motor, both located within the talking machine casing, a spring motor shaft, a removable extension shaft substituted for the usual windin crank, connecting the spring motor and the winding motor, and means for removably securing the winding motor to the casing, said extension shaft having means for the attachment of the Winding crank from outside the casing.

In a talking machine. a springmotor and its winding motor, both located within the talking machine casing. a. sinking motor shaft, a removable extension shaft substituted for the usual winding crank, ronnwgting the spring motor and the winding motor, and means for ren'iovahly securing;- the Winding motor to the casing, comprising :1 depending bracket secured to the spring motor board of the casing, said bracket having means engaging the motor housing for holding the motor against turning on the extension shatt due to the torque of the spring" motor spring, said extension shaft having; means for the attaclnnent of the windingcrank t'rom outsi'de the casing.-

ln testinmny, that I claim the 'l'oregoing as my invention; l have signed my name this nineteenth day oi November, 1911 JOSEPH W. IHJNES.
